With a super-fast quad-core processor, a whopping 8GB of RAM, and a vast 1TB hard drive, and a vibrant HD display, the E224520 HP Laptop is more than just a computer… it’s your window to the world. If you’re picking up this ultra-portable HP laptop, these accessories will let you get even more out of your new laptop.

If your home hasn’t gone wireless yet, now’s the time! It’s easy to take advantage of your laptop’s built-in Wi-Fi with the E222818 Belkin N150 Wireless Router. You don’t have to be a tech junkie to set it up; just plug the router into your modem, then plug it into the wall, and pop the CD into your laptop for a fast onscreen set-up—and you’re ready! Then you can fully enjoy your laptop’s wireless capabilities: update your social networks while you’re on the couch, check your favorite food blogs in the kitchen, and stream TV shows while you’re in bed.

If your family has a lot of electronic devices, then you know there are just never enough wall outlets in the house. Not to worry: the E222100 Pivot Power Flexible Surge Protector has six outlets perfect for all of those chargers, including the one for your new laptop. Just plug in the Pivot Power near your work area—you can bend and twist it to fit the space, if you need to—and a single outlet becomes six, letting you plug in your computer, phone, router, the kids’ gaming devices, or anything else that requires a charge.

If you prefer using a traditional mouse to your laptop’s touchpad, the E222556 Canon Bluetooth Slim Mouse is the way to go. It’s wireless, so it’s easy to transport and use on the go, but this mouse’s 3-in-1 functionality makes it extra special. It can be used as a numeric keypad, giving you more flexibility while you type, and it also works as a traditional calculator—and you never know when that might come in handy!

The great thing about having a laptop is being able to take it anywhere—trains, planes, the office, vacation, or anywhere else you might need it. But you’ve got to have a good case to keep it looking and working like new. The E223698/E223699 SlipIt! Case does just that—simply choose the one that matches your laptop’s size, and you’ll have a heavy-duty case that keeps your computer safe from bumps and scratches. Plus, there’s plenty of room for accessories, so you can throw your charger and mouse in the bag, too. Or you could use the included ClickIt! Wireless Mouse and switch out its lid color to suit your mood.

Even with the roomy hard drive of your HP laptop, you need to back up your files. Not only will this free up more space on your computer (so you can save even more photos of the kids and download more music), but it protects those irreplaceable media files, giving you peace of mind. The E224366 Clickfree External Hard Drive gives you 750GB of back-up storage, letting you save thousands of photos, songs, videos, documents, and so much more. And since it’s PC and Mac-compatible, the Clickfree makes it a snap to store and transfer files from multiple computers.
